When I was living in Australia, I had a conversation with a South African refugee. We came to the conclusion that if South Africa had given the "bantustans", particularly Transkei, independence in 1965( (the same time the British gave Lesotho independence), Henrik Veroerd's Grand Apartheid would have been a done deal--and the bantusan states would have been internationally recognized, the same as all the other new nations in Africa. Then the only isuse would have been the Coloreds and Asians voting.
But the Nationalist Whites in South Africa insisted on :baaskaap" (lit. bosship) apartheid in which dependency and oppresive white supremacy continued, and when South Africa finally did try to implement Grand Apartheid, it was too little too late and the international community was not going to tolerate it.
Remember.Australia's granting of independence to Papua New Guinea (and thereby denial of Australian citizenship to Papula New Guineans) was as much Grand Apartheid as what South Africa did. The Aussies never staged a plebiscite and asked the Papua New Guineans if they wanted independence or would rather have Australian statehood. But the Aussies got away with it.
